Hoofed Mammals

Hoofed mammals, AKA “ungulates” aren’t just pigs and cattle. This category includes some of the world’s most spectacular mammals, from the tallest of all—giraffes—to some of the fastest—pronghorn antelope. WCS works from the plains of North America to the wetlands of Southern Sudan to save ancient wildlife migration corridors, study the environmental impacts of natural resource extraction, and develop sustainable land-use management plans to save Earth’s majestic hoofed herds.

This solitary and strange-looking mammal that resembles a cross between a giraffe and a zebra lives only in the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
WCS helped safeguard the species by creating the Okapi Wildlife Reserve in 1992.
